Enhanced ATM Security System Using Biometrics

Because biometrics-based authentication offers several advantages over other authentication methods, there has been a significant surge in the use of biometrics for user authentication in recent years. In this paper the existing security of the ATM (Automated Teller Machine) system has been improved by integrating the fingerprint of the user into the bank's database as to further authenticate it. This was achieved by modelling and building an ATM simulator that will mimic a typical ATM system.
